Abstract

  • The world economy is starting to pick up speed again: by 2003, it will be growing by 3.7 per cent, with world trade expanding by 8.5 per cent a year.

  • This will prompt rises in interest rates in North America and Europe.

  • The US will grow by 2.4 per cent this year, double the rate of last year, rising to 3.5 per cent in 2003.

  • Recovery in the euro area will be gradual, with GDP growth rising from 1.4 per cent in 2002 to 2.5 per cent in 2003.

  • The Japanese economy will shrink by 1.2 per cent in 2002, and recovery in 2003 will be relatively modest, with GDP growth of 1.3 per cent.
